SI TECH Quick Neck Test

Lelle Malmström puts a drysuit neck seal through its paces by jumping of a 10m diving board to test if it holds tight.

The Swedish company SI TECH has further developed its Neck Tite system, which enables the diver to change the neck seal on a drysuit easily, without the need to glue a silicone neck seal in place. The new system is called Quick Neck and is, just like its predecessor, made up of a soft ring that is glued to the suit and another ring that is clamped together with the neck seal in the glued ring.

Review of the OrcaTorch D570

How many times, whilst diving, have you seen the most exciting, unusual or incredible critter and wanted to show it to your buddies? You have finally managed to grab their attention and pointed at the critter, only for them to look in the direction of your pointed finger and then stare blankly back at you. You point closer, you waggle your hand and still they don’t see it, by which time, the critter has disappeared, your buddies have given up the search, shrugged their shoulders and swum off.

This can be really disappointing and sometimes happens to me when guiding customers or diving with buddies who are not accustomed to our marine life. I realised that to prevent any future disappointments, I needed to find a non-invasive way of pointing out those critters. I am not keen on pointers or muck sticks after seeing a few over-enthusiastic divers knock or dislodge creatures from the reef with their sticks.

Taking the Seabob for a Spin

The SEABOB is a luxury seatoy designed for “fun in the sun.” Corporate divers or technical divers are not invited to this party—unless they are vacationing, of course. No, this is a unit for scuba divers, free-divers or snorkelers, and meant to be purely recreational.

Technically Speaking

Simon Pridmore's aim in writing this book was to examine and record where technical diving came from, how it developed, how it expanded across the world, who the important movers were and how the efforts of a few determined people changed our little field of human endeavour forever.
